The Token

I picked up The Token by Long Dog Samplers yesterday at the LNS close to my son's school. The LNS is Silk Road Needlearts. Amazingly there is another LNS two doors down from this shop called Alex-Paras NeedleArts - it's mainly needlepoint, but they have a TON of silk threads - it really is heaven just to walk in there. I took all the kids, so it was a little hectic - I didn't really get a chance to look like I would've liked. I noticed while I was there (the first shop) a time before that he had some Picture this Plus fabric, so I also got some in relic. I was thinking The Token might look pretty done on that fabric with navy threads. I couldn't decide if I should use silk, overdyed, or just plain old DMC. I think I'm narrowing it down to silk or DMC. I think the fabric is too busy to busy it up more with overdyed threads. I'm wondering if I start with DMC will I regret it and wish I was using silk? And then the next dilema if I do use DMC do I use one thread or two? Decisions, decisions...
